The Freedom House is a sober living facility for men in recovery who wish to continue working on their program after rehab. Located in peaceful Effingham, New Hampshire, it can accommodate up to 17 residents. Choosing a facility like Freedom House is a great way to transition back to your life after being in an intensive rehab program.
A sober living home acts as an intermediary step between residential and partial hospitalization and in lieu of going right back to your old life. Compared to the length of your use and your life, rehab was pretty short. Learning new habits and learning to use the tools that you gathered from rehab can take time and practice, and a sober living home offers people a place where they can gain some amount of responsibility, accountability, and freedom while learning to stay sober over the long run.
It’s important to note that the path to recovery is not always easy. You should not expect to have an easy time making the transition. Making use of the resources available to you like sober living homes and other types of support will help you along the way while helping to ensure that you can remain sober and live the life that you have been dreaming of.
